CHA Summer 2012 Day 1

Hey Scrap Fans! Oh my gosh you guys, what an exciting day! And the show floor hasn't even opened yet. Unfortunately, the wifi in our hotel is less than desirable, so I'm forced to try to post from my iPhone. (which I wouldn't have to do if I had 3G for iPad~hint hint Andy~) But in any event, I'll do my best to try to keep you updated.

So today we took two workshops and a number of seminars (one of which was how to build a better blog, so there's hope for us yet). At one of our seminars, I sat down and holy cow, Shimelle Laine was sitting right next to me! For those of you who don't know Shimelle, she is a former editor for Creating Keepsakes Magazine and a Garden Girl at Two Peas in a Bucket. She also has an "in" with one of my favorite super heros, Glitter Girl. She was incredibly lovely and took the time to not only talk to us, but posed for a few pics as well. I'd love to post them, but am finding it quite impossible at the moment, so....

We also attended a seminar featuring the top twenty most innovative picks of the season, where we saw demonstrations of these products. There was some exciting stuff that we can't wait to bring to you! If you click the link below, you can watch Tim Holtz demonstrate his new metallic distress stains.

Well Scrap Fans, it's getting late and tomorrow is another busy day, so I'd better get some rest. Can't wait to (hopefully) bring you some more exciting news! Until then, Happy Scrapping!!
